I really can't stay
I've got to go away
This evening has been
So very nice
My mother will start to worry
My father will be pacing the floor
So really I'd better scurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
The neighbors might think
Say what's in this drink
I wish I knew how
To break this spell
I ought to say No no no sir
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
I really can't stay
Ah but it's cold out side
I simply must go
The answer is no
Yes welcome has been
So nice and warm
My sister will be suspicious
My brother will be there at the door
My maiden aunts mind is vicious
Well maybe just a have garette more
I've gotta go home
Say lend me a coat
You've really been grand
But don't you see
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
I really can't stay
Baby it's cold outside
